Roundup Community Partners is excited to share the ground-breaking of our Welcome Plaza Project. This project is an important step forward in the intentional revitalization of our Main Street. This project will create an anchor development for Main Street and serve as a gateway to welcome visitors to Roundup and share information with our community.

The Plaza will include a Visitor Information Kiosk with informational signage and brochure racks to showcase Roundup's attractions and activities, a public bathroom, picnic tables and benches, and xeriscape landscaping. The intention for the Plaza and the Kiosk is: 1) to tell Roundup's authentic story with a western feel while being low maintenance and high quality, and 2) to revitalize Main Street while preserving and showcasing what is special and unique about our community. On a larger scale, the intention for the project is to encourage

some of the 400,000 vehicles that annually pass-through Roundup to stop and engage in our local community and commerce.

The project is completely grant, donation, and volunteer funded. This Main Street improvement would never have been possible without the support of all of our grantors and partners. Roundup Community Partners would like to thank and recognize: Musselshell County (for cost of bathroom), Montana Main Street Program Grant ($66,000), Office of Tourism ($40,000), Signal Peak Community Foundation ($20,000), AARP ($17,903), Musselshell Valley Community Foundation ($10,000), and Montana Community Foundation ($2,000).

Our donors and volunteers are as critical to the success of the project: a private, anonymous donor helped cover most of the costs of the property, Montana Frontier Sandstone is donating some of their labor, Roundup Community Partners offered visioning and funding support, Don Haynes is providing in-kind help & Project Management, David and Mary Haynes volunteered during demo, Randy Hafer & High Plains Architects donated some of the architectural work, Cushing Terrell donated structural engineering work, Stan's Metalworks is donating his labor for the metal art, the City of Roundup has committed long-term maintenance of the plaza, Theresa Doumitt is donating grant writing/management and project development, and other partners are pending (and will be recognized in future publicity).

RCP would like to give special thanks to, Greg Wilhelmi, whose donated artwork and talent has helped this project grow from a small idea into a grand, community-visioned project. We would also like to thank Bill and Tammie McCutcheon, who agreed to sell the property, because they believe in the project. Special thanks to our incredible Musselshell County Commissioners for their vision and support to enable the bathrooms and the project overall, to Cheri and Daryl Tate for logistic and constant support, to Mayor Jones and the City of Roundup for their support and long-term commitment, and to Montana Frontier Sandstone and the Barth Family for getting the construction of this project moving! Roundup Community Partners is so very grateful to all of our partners!
